When a homeowner comes to Michele Hobby frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure if they're even being treated fairly by their HOA, she gets it. After years of handling HOA disputes in Florida, she's seen the patterns—how boards overstep, how management companies stonewall, and how homeowners get worn down by a process designed to exhaust them. That's exactly why she does this work.

Michele brings 17 years of litigation experience to every case. Before joining LS Carlson Law, she spent years as a prosecutor, trying hundreds of cases and learning how to build arguments that hold up under pressure. She also served as a judicial extern for Judge Richard Seeborg (now Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California), which gave her a clear-eyed understanding of how judges evaluate cases and what actually moves the needle.

Today, her practice focuses on representing homeowners—not associations—in HOA and condominium disputes. She works to resolve matters efficiently when possible and litigates with precision when that's what it takes. For Michele, a home isn't just property. It's where you're supposed to feel safe. When an HOA threatens that, she takes it personally.
